Yea...the sports photogs I know use it extensively.  Since I don't have to caption (right now) and haven't had the info before, it is something I just need to get in the habit of doing.  My intention is to begin adding captions for some of the images so it will definitely come in handy...They get very specific on their audio notes including details about the time in the game and the situation when the event occurred.  It also helps them quickly go through to the images that have the audio associated so that they can edit and publish those images quickly before reviewing any other images.

Just found out that the d5 has a feature that fine tunes your lenses automatically to the body without setting up targets and all that mess. Now, how well it works I'm not sure, but it's super easy, so hopefully it does

Well, I'm guessing Siri doesn't work that well :)!  Have you taught Rowdy to type?

D500 has that too. Looking forward to using it, waaay simpler than the current method.

Yep, takes just a couple of
minutes, including mounting on a tripod

Going to spend the weekend in Nashville. Hoping to hit some bars with live music and dim lighting to give it a decent test.

Station Inn if you like Bluegrass...always good music there...but, there are plenty of good bars with all flavors of music if not!  I'm looking forward to checking out the images no matter the subject!

You might want to get out your unused NC filter. I'm not sure how alcohol affects the coating on lens elements. I know you're not gonna be purposely dunking your camera in beer but, from the times when I frequented bars, ... well... stuff happens.

Pretty sure I don't even own a 77 mm filter. Only planning on taking the 70-200

I'd be willing to bet it has survived at least one night in a bar without harm!

:unsure:

I'm curious. What kind of reaction did you get when you took your D5 in that bar?

I met Tom (Tbonz) and his wife close to where they live. Brought it to show to him. Sat it on the table when we got there. Our waiter immediately knew it was expensive and made some comments about being careful and getting someone else to wait on us. Other than that, it sat there unmolested.

Now today/tonight when I go into Nashville, it will stay strapped to me...

So last night was interesting. I've stopped in Nashville several times, Memphis too for that matter, and brought my 810 with me, usually with a prime or my 15-30. Last night I had the D5 with my 70-200. I had two different bar managers ask me what I was planning on shooting. Both times I told them it was a new camera and I was just testing its low light capabilities. They were ok with that. After thinking about it, I really wanted to ask them what was off limits. Also had the father of one of the singers ask me to send him some pics.

I'll get them developed today sometime.
